#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits. The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

Some lad for the Man City team that plays in NY just went 3/4ths the length of the pitch to score. Could have sworn I saw Paul Konchesky in the defense

The government’s position is literally that the government itself is “irreparably harmed” by distributing funds What it means is that Trump’s political position is “irreparably harmed” by disbursing SNAP funds. This conservative SCOTUS majority won’t need any help to understand this.

There's a job opportunity in my department at the University of Arkansas - Asst. Professor of Early American History jobs.h-net.org/jobs/69108 UA still experiencing enrollment growth each year. Our chancellor & vice provost are history dept. faculty members. And Fayetteville is a great place to live

NFL Network is replaying Raiders-Broncos in case anyone hates themselves

I've been waiting to comment publicly on this until the university made its announcement, but the Department of History at Princeton is devastated by the recent death of our wonderful colleague Alison Isenberg.

The American justice system is not yet equipped to handle state crimes on this scale. Think tanks, advocacy orgs, bar associations must prioritize changing this for whenever the reckoning comes.

got a nice note from a former student from eons ago: "you were really tough on writing, and most of us thought you were a real bastard, but it was like learning cheat code"

who could have predicted that a nation that wouldn’t ratify the EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT would still hate women’s guts fifty years later

This is a cold cut

To my trans and nonbinary friends, I am so sorry that you have to deal with this hate. And I hope to see us reach the other side of it soon. And, we will reach the other side. This is horrifying, but it is ultimately the latest iteration of a time-worn tale. And their time always comes to an end.

The Great Again Depression

One of the really striking things here is that Roberts, at least, used to evince some concern for preserving the legitimacy and reputation of the Court, and that just seems to have gone out the window.

I am 100% convinced that sandwich guy chose his weapon keenly aware of the literary, punny, metaphorical joke possibilities that it would produce. And the people have responded.

Trump responded "That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!"

Every episode is great and you should always listen, but Professor Brettschneider’s interview with Dahlia Lithwock is a MUST listen. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-oath-and-the-office/id1795734509?i=1000735540120

This is tremendous and I am grateful for this honor.

Terrific endorsement from @radiofreetom.bsky.social Coming next Spring. "Steve Knott has both a magisterial knowledge of the U.S. presidency and a deep loyalty to truly American ideals. Both of these virtues shine from every page of this book,

a grand jury could indict a ham sandwich, but not convict one

Profiles in Courage, the sequel

If the sandwich is fresh and fit you must acquit

"Police allege he failed several field-sobriety tests, including" [wait for it] "reciting the alphabet." "Diaz-Torres couldn’t account for his whereabouts during the roughly 90-minute period after his shift ended..." Gonna guess this guy was on the sauce while on duty

Yes, yes you do

Remains true

Fantastic stuff

Alito is like what if this case was a totally different case, what say you then Neal Katyal?

Very funny to hear Nebraska v. Biden being used here against Trump

Alito doing his own realtime corpus linguistics experiment

Kavanaugh beclowning himself, aka being himself

Roberts: "We didn't stay this case" 🤨👀 sooo you're admitting now that when the Court's conservatives try to be like 'we didn't make a ruling! all we did was stay the lower court's ruling! there's no implication to take 😇' that's fake as hell?

Katyal: "founding" "history" "1790"

There are a category of advocates who are permitted to talk over justices without getting slapped back.

this question was hilarious
